AI Engineering Intern Full Time

Who we are

Ekam Apps is a lean, AI-first studio building products and automation for clients across India and Australia. We ship fast with a small team because our entire workflow runs on Claude and AI-native dev tools.

We also build our own products under Turrant.ai:

Turrant – AI-powered process automation for document collection, verification, and approvals across WhatsApp, email, and branded portals. 50+ document types, 800+ government source verifications, 250+ integrations, no-code.

ComWise – unified WhatsApp + web chat inbox with an AI copilot, workflow automation, broadcast campaigns, and one-click human takeover. Powered by Claude, Gemini, and GPT with vector-search grounding.

You’ll work directly with the founder, Nitin Gupta — 19+ years in tech, 12+ in leadership across India Today Group, Lenskart, SeniorWorld, and Zecross. Small team, no layers.

The role

We’re looking for an intern who thinks in AI – not someone who occasionally uses it, but someone who reaches for it instinctively and knows how to extract 10x output from these tools.

You’ll be a full stack AI engineering intern across multiple live projects. One hour you might be building a Next.js dashboard for an Australian client, the next wiring up a Supabase edge function, and after lunch debugging a WhatsApp bot on Turrant.

Fair warning: this is a startup. Some weeks are exhilarating – shipping features, watching users react. Some weeks are grinding – debugging edge cases, reworking something for the third time. We need someone who rides both with composure.

What you’ll do

• Ship full stack features end-to-end – Next.js, React, Node.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Supabase
• Work with Claude, GPT, and Gemini APIs daily — prompt engineering to agentic workflows
• Use Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot as your primary dev environment, and get maximum value from them
• Build automation for applications and features where applicable – internal tooling, workflows, and integration glue
• Integrate third-party APIs – payment gateways, Zoho, HubSpot, WhatsApp Business, government verification
• Own what you build – first commit, production deploy, and the 9pm bug fix
• Context-switch across 2–3 projects in a day without losing quality

Who you are

• Humble, low ego. No task is beneath you. You’d rather help a teammate than prove you’re the smartest in the room.
• Hands-on but smart about AI. Claude is your pair programmer, not a crutch. You know when to prompt and when to think.
• Agile across contexts. React component, Python script, client thread — same morning, all done well.
• Startup-mature. You handle ambiguity, take ownership, and don’t crumble when plans change. They will.

Requirements

• Pursuing or completed B.Tech in CS, IT, or ECE (students and recent graduates welcome)
• Solid fundamentals in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python
• Working knowledge of (or strong willingness to learn) Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL
• Genuine comfort with AI coding tools – show us your workflow
• Real understanding of LLMs – prompting, context windows, token limits, model selection
• Excellent written communication – you’ll be in client threads all day

Bonus

• Side project or hackathon entry built on AI APIs
• Open source contributions
• Experience with Supabase/Firebase, OCR, or document verification systems

What you’ll gain

• Direct mentorship from the founder — no hierarchy buffer
• Production AI systems used by real customers in India and Australia
• Breadth of a B2B SaaS product and client work — rare for an intern
• An AI workflow that puts you ahead of engineers with 5 years’ experience
• Real ownership from week one. Not coffee runs, not throwaway scripts.
• Potential for full-time conversion based on performance

• Stipend: ₹10,000 for the first month, ₹15,000/month thereafter
• Duration: Minimum 4 months
• Location: Fully remote
